Last night’s premiere of Disney Channel’s Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam drew some 8 million total viewers to rank as the year’s most watched cable movie and TV’s top Friday telecast in nearly 6 months in total viewers. The sequel’s audience was down slightly from the 8.9 million averaged by the first Camp Rock movie. For comparison, Disney Channel’s High School Musical 2 (17.2 million) nearly doubled the audience of the original HSM TV movie (7.7 million).

Over at MTV, Jersey Shorebroke series records for a fourth straight week on Thursday, averaging 6.5 million viewers and a 6.5 rating in persons 12-34. This was MTV’s highest rated series telecast in over eight years – since The Osbournes in May 2002.

Also on Thursday, episode 6 of Lifetime’s Project Runway’s eighth season surpassed four million total viewers (4,002,000) and two million Adults 25-54 viewers (2,160,000) to post the reality series’ highest marks since the Season 6 finale last November.

all this hype over JS and other cable shows … and yet iCarly kills them all in the overall numbers. no hype… just solid numbers all the time. watch what happens on Sept 11 with the new show and compare it to all these numbers. I bet iCarly smokes them.
